Description: The formation of the "Caumont Gap". During the night of 9/10 June 1944 the German 352nd Infantry Division fell back under US pressure, creating a wide gap in the German front line. This was exploited by the British 7th Armoured Division in an attempt to flank the Panzer Lehr Division via Villers-Bocage and Point 213.
